Running.COACH’s service offer is exclusively aimed at individuals of full age.

Running.COACH allows access to and use of the platform based on these general terms and conditions (hereinafter: “GTCs”).

The GTCs regulate the relationship between Running.COACH as the operator of the platform, registered users and third parties or partners.

By registering as a Running.COACH user, you are accepting the following GTCs for the use of Running.COACH.

The user may view, print and save these GTCs at any time, including after conclusion of a contract, using the “GTCs” link.

Registration

Running.COACH is available to all registered users. Registration is free. We reserve the right to charge a fee for the additional premium services of running.COACH.

Registration is only open to individuals of full age.

Each user may only register with Running.COACH once and by registering guarantees that he is not already a member or that he has already deleted any existing account he had.

To register, the user must fill out the mandatory fields on the registration form completely, correctly and truthfully. It is strictly forbidden to register a user with incorrect or otherwise unacceptable information.

When creating a user account (hereinafter: “account”), the user must enter his correct, given name.

Every user can decide individually which of these forms he would like to be identified by in the different forums, groups, messages, blogs, etc.

Users are not expressly entitled to conclude a contract of use. Running.COACH is entitled to refuse any registration without the need for justification.

Identification of people on the Internet is only possible to a limited extent. Consequently, Running.COACH cannot provide any guarantee of the correctness of the actual identity of a user. Every user must convince himself of the identity of other users.

Deleting an account

If a user would like to delete his Running.COACH account, he may terminate the contract of use at any time without the need for justification and without the need to comply with any notification periods.

It is sufficient to click on the “Delete my account” button. Alternatively, the user can also cancel his membership by sending an e-mail to info@runningcoach.me.

Running.COACH may also terminate the contract of use at any time without the need for justification and without the need to comply with any notification periods.

Once an account is deleted successfully, all the user’s personal information is permanently deleted from the platform.

Contributions that the user has made publicly available via the Running.COACH platform prior to leaving (e.g., in forums, within groups, etc.) shall also remain visible following successful deletion of the account – however, no name will be shown and a message will appear stating that the user who submitted the contribution is no longer registered.

The Running.COACH platform also includes links to third-party contents. These third-party contents are identified with a corresponding notice, e.g., “Advertisement” or “Presented by”.

These GTCs and the contractual relationship between Running.COACH and the user are exclusively subject to Swiss law. The legal venue is the headquarters of Running.COACH.

However, this choice of law shall only apply to the user insofar as the protection granted by compulsory regulations of the country's legal system in which the consumer resides is not withdrawn
